There is one where you think about techniques that you can use to win the match or if I can play like this, this is an improvement for sure. A lot of people don&#8217;t know this about improvement of batting,&#8221; Kohli said on a Star Sports show.<br \/>&#8220;Improvement happens when you think what can I add to my game to win the match. You don&#8217;t do it to become a complete batsman. Very few people know that to technically look good you don&#8217;t practice; it is so that I can learn a new shot and I can score runs for the team and win the match.<br \/>&#8220;I can cover all the spaces and score runs, and that should be the motivation,&#8221; said Kohli.<br \/>Recalling the straight six off Rauf on October 23, the shot that broke the internet, Kohli added: &#8220;I have seen this a lot of times, but these small things in the middle, these are very special because obviously, you have lived these moments but you haven&#8217;t seen it again.<br \/>&#8220;Just those little moments are something that I feel very nostalgic about, and in a good way. Till this date, I don&#8217;t know how I pulled off that shot but it happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">ICC World Cup 2023: India beat New Zealand by By 4 wickets in Dharamshala<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"em \">(With inputs from PTI)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')<\/p>\n<p>      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }<\/p>\n<p>    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-world-cup\/news\/keep-learning-new-strokes-rather-than-focusing-on-becoming-complete-batter-virat-kohli\/articleshow\/105128982.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Prioritize learning new strokes rather that focusing on completely on technique, said batting virtuoso Virat Kohli as he relived his iconic shot off the Haris Rauf during his match-winning unbeaten 82 off 53 balls against Pakistan at the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.
